The effect of FAD-associated mutations in amyloid-beta precursor protein and presenilin-1 genes on Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.

Pathogenic mutations in amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) and presenilins (PS) genes cause familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). FAD is an uncommon form of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with early onset (before age 65) and a rapid progression but its neuropathology is indistinguishable from the sporadic A...
